Making batts for spinning! Natural brown Haunui wool with sari silk, mulberry silk dyed with indigo, and merino wool
Thank you! Didn’t expect such glorious greys, very pleased
Carded natural Gotland wool, washed and prepped from fleece #spinning #fiberprep #wool
Handspun ‘Confetti’ yarn, a blend of recycled sari silk and silver-toned natural Haunui wool. Carded on my drum carder then handspun with great patience. The watercolour paintings were an inspired extra addition.

I handspun this yarn from wool and silk fiber that I prepared myself, and I did the paintings to match too!
So tiny and cute! I actually thought it was a wee turtle on first look ahaha
I just launched a new hand spinning yarn and fiber art blog! I’m still working on it, but can find it at www.wanderandstitch.com
Eeeep thank you!! It was certainly a an enjoyable process, like putting together a puzzle
Oh this is so pretty, beautiful work!
The handspun yarn result of a natural dye process, using marigold flowers to dye silk and Haunui wool which I then blended into a batt for spinning #fiberprep
Yes the spin was an absolute dream, I’ll post a pic of how it came out!
A humble flower is so right, they are delightful to have growing too and such a rich, reliable range of golden yellows and greens
